Até 2020, 99% das vulnerabilidades exploradas por ataques maliciosos continuarão sendo as mesmas já conhecidas pelos times de Segurança e TI há pelo menos um ano. O levantamento, feito pelo Gartner no final de 2017, é alarmante. As organizações ainda parecem render-se àquele ditado popular conhecido: “depois da casa arrombada é que se coloca cadeado na porta”. É necessário mudar isso.
Está claro que a natureza da questão não é mais “se” – e sim, “quando” – sua empresa será atingida. Seja no setor financeiro, comércio, indústria, serviços e varejo. Todos os segmentos estão entre os mais visados, como informa o Relatório M-Trends divulgado em 2018. A voracidade dos ataques obriga executivos, diretores e presidentes a colocarem sua reputação em jogo para explicar os prejuízos decorrentes de um ciber ataque imprevisto.
Diante deste dilema, proponho uma mudança de visão comumente usada na nossa vida enquanto seres humanos. Nós, seres humanos, recorremos a um arsenal farmacológico para tratar doenças. Entretanto, ainda não é um hábito ir ao médico por prevenção. Por isso, temos tantas campanhas preventivas no Brasil e até mesmo no mundo. Por que não devemos enxergar a prevenção dos dados contra-ataques online da mesma maneira? Pela mesma lógica, prevenir ainda é menos oneroso do que remediar.
Executivos devem perceber que a importância de uma análise de vulnerabilidade é tão importante quanto implementar métodos preventivos de defesa contra ciberataques, garantindo o cumprimento das políticas de Tecnologia de Informação.
Um exemplo de implementação fundamental são os protocolos de serviços para prevenção de ataques. Não raro, as empresas minimizam a importância de um firewall associado à filtragem de DNS contra sites nocivos, proteção contra malwares e políticas de segurança para e-mails. Estes métodos reduzem a vulnerabilidade das empresas e, consequentemente, os riscos tangíveis e intangíveis provocado por hackers.
Entretanto, não podemos deixar nenhuma ponta solta. Por essa razão, acredito também, em uma mudança mais profunda. De natureza cultural, comportamental, tecnológica e como resultado, mais duradoura. O empoderamento dos colaboradores em todos os níveis da organização é fonte crítica de vulnerabilidade em qualquer implementação. Assim, entendo que as precauções de cibersegurança devem ser um compromisso equilibrado entre tecnologia preventiva e confiança. Por sua vez, é implementado em pela equipe de Segurança da Informação da empresa em sintonia com áreas da empresa como Recursos Humanos. Afinal, quando 54% das empresas no Brasil ainda não confiam em seus funcionários com relação à segurança de dados, o cadeado na porta torna-se um símbolo de falsa proteção.

The comprehensively named Anker PowerCore Fusion Power Delivery Battery and Charger is now available on Apple’s online store. This is one of the new generation gallium nitridechargers, which use the power of science and clever engineering to shrink the charging tech down to much tinier proportions, which in the case of this gadget has allowed Anker to also fit a portable battery inside. What you get is a 42W charger — with a 30W USB-C output for juicing up your laptop or more demanding gadgets and another 12W via USB-A for fast-charging smartphones or tablets — that can also power an iPhone for an additional 23 hours from its own internal charge. Anker says the built-in battery holds a 5,000 mAh reserve.

Many of you know that I’m a tech-nerd. I spent 10 years in the robotic software business at ABB Robotics and loved every minute of it. For all you geeks out there, here is the software in action:
OK… back to reality and my trip to the Camino.
When I made the decision to do the Camino, I also decided I would document the trip by creating a daily photo/travel blog. As you will see this decision had a major impact on my packing and pack weight. Many of the people who have done the Camino discourage blogging. They say it takes away from the experience of the Camino (which I can understand) and adds considerable extra weight to your pack. However, I have been blogging about my adventures for the past 8 years and it has become part of my DNA, so I’m going to do it.
Many of you know that every summer Susie (my wife) and I spend the month of June on vacation (since I have my summers off as a college professor). We find a fun/interesting city (Rome, Barcelona…) and we rent an apartment for the month, have no rental car, cook many of our meals at home and live like the locals. I have created a daily photo/travel blog for each of these trips. If you are interested, here are my other travel/photo blogs: http://www.jjshields.com/
Once I decided to blog, it was time to find the best/lightest tech. Here is what I’m taking:
I do all my photo editing and blogging on a Windows laptop when I travel. I bring my monster 17″ Acer gaming laptop because it has great video/photo editing power. However, the beast weighs nearly 9 pounds!!! So I needed to find a different/lighter option and bought an iPad Pro 10.5.
This my friends was a tough decision. I have never owned an Apple product and never had any interest in any of their products. I’m an Android fanboy! I chose the iPad because I need to edit my photos and the photo editing software is better on the iPad than on Android. I have been really struggling with the iPad… Apple has locked down everything in the operating system and I can’t get used to that. Some say this strategy is called “A walled garden”. Coming from the freedom of Android, it feels more like a prison 🙂
I didn’t buy the Apple keyboard or the Apple keyboard case. Why? Because of weight (plus they are stupidly expensive). I ended up buying the iClever Universal Wireless Keyboard. Besides being lightweight, the keyboard will also work with my Android phone (if I need to use it) and the keys are backlit for those times I will be blogging in the dark 🙂
For my case, I looked for the lightest case available (that also offered some degree of protection) and bought the JETech Case for Apple iPad Pro 10.5 Inch.
This combination saved me 8 ounces over the Apple solution (and I saved some major cash!):
I know that 8oz might not seem like a lot, but I have learned that every ounce counts when you are carrying the weight on your back.
Because I will be staying in hostels along the Camino, I decided to try a different approach to charging all my tech devices. I’m concerned about the security of my devices, and I don’t want to be tethered to devices while they are being charged in the hostels. So here’s my plan:
I ended up buying a new USB charger because my current charger is a little heavy. I got the YIHUNION 61W 4-Port USB Wall Charger (10oz) and saved 6oz!
Besides saving weight, this unit has some great features:
I will be bringing my LG V20 phone on the trip. This phone is unlocked so I can use a Spanish sim card in the phone. This is probably the most under-rated phone over the past 5 years. One of the great features is it has a replaceable battery (very few phones have this feature).
For the Camino, I bought an extended battery for my phone. With normal use (with the regular battery) I can get about1.25 days of use on a charge. With the new PowerBear LG V20 Extended Battery I can get almost 3 days of use. This means less recharging on the Camino. The only downside is the extra weight (about 3oz) and now my phone looks pregnant 🙂
This was another tough decision. Photography is one of my hobbies and I have a great Sony A6300 camera (if you are interested, here are some of my better photos LINKY). Even though the Sony is a very compact camera it still weighs a lot (1.8 lbs/816g with my 18-200 lens). Below is a good comparison between my camera (note the A6000 is the same size as my camera) and a “typical” digital camera:
So I am taking my little Sony RX100 V on the Camino. Here is size comparison of the RX100 & A6300:
Some of the trade-offs with using the RX100 include:
Having said this, the RX100 is still a great compact camera. In fact, most camera review sites say it is the best camera for the size.
I will be bringing my Android Smart Watch with me. It is an LG Urbane 2nd Edition.
The main reason for bringing this watch is to help reduce the time it takes to write my blogs.
SAY WHAT???? How can a watch help with your blogging??? Stick with me…
My goal is to spend NO MORE than 1 hour per day on my blogging. I think using the watch to record my thoughts will help me reach this goal.
Yes, I know this is a luxury item. However, during my training hikes, I notice that my pace increases and the music just puts me a good place (especially if it a song by Justin Beaver :-))
I have been a longtime fan of the Bose QC 20 noise-canceling earphones. They are fantastic on those long flights or any time I want some quiet time. However, I’m taking the Sony 1000X Earphones for the following reasons:
Here is what they look like:
Well, that’s about it for my tech stuff.
Back in October, Adobe announced that it would be bringing full Photoshop CC to the iPad sometime in 2019. Now, the company is officially opening beta signups for Photoshop on the iPad.
